Homecoming week- Part 2
I grinned from ear to ear and couldn't stop. I read 'I love you' on a sticky note and my heart had an orgasm. I might just die in front of him when he says it in person.
"Do we have enough time to find the next one?" Brandon asked. He put the trashcan back where Loren got it. Girls started to fill in the dance room. I guess we should start to head out.
"Well where do we go next?" I asked the both of them. I was walking backwards to the door and Brandon was going to say something but I had already bumped into someone.
I nearly fell over the person that I ran into. "Thanks you guys for warning me." I narrowed my eyebrows at the both of them. I got everything together and stood up.
"Sorry." Loren apologized. She began to fiddle her fingers. She always gets upset about anything I wish she knew that it's not always her fault. I just wasn't watching where I was going.
"No problem Nik." Brandon smiled at me.
Why would he even call me Nik? That's a guy name. I guess I'm not used to him calling me that but I am with my dad. I'll just let it go.
I looked to see who I ran into and it was one of the dance girls. She was still tying her shoe.
"Sorry about that." She looked at me and smiled. She had a sweet smile looking like she just got out of wonderland. Her hair was a strong tint of red like the just dyed it not even a few days ago. She was about the same height as me and she was skinny but muscular.
"No it's okay. Are you Mickey?" She extended her legs and began to stretch. Brandon chuckled and Loren slapped his arm.
"Do you mean Nikki?" I laughed. She looked up at me.
"Oh well. Yes. That's the name I meant to say." The girl stood up and stretched her arms out. "Sure." Brandon murmured and Loren hit him once more. He looked at Loren with an annoyed face.
"This guy told me to tell you that there's a paper under her desk that you should find. He told me that it's really important to you and that you need it to find him." She nodded in a nice way. I smiled back at her. This girl seems like she has a heart of a child.
"Yeah I still don't know what's going on but I like that I have something to look forward to today instead of my bed."
She hugged me and shook me from side to side. "I bet he's a really great guy."
He sure is.
Loren grabbed my shoulder and pulled me back. "Okay well we need to get going. Bye." Loren started to push me towards the door. "See you later!" The girl yelled. I looked at the clock before we left the room and I knew we would be tardy.
I'm clueless how Brandon can just go up to people and tell them to tell me these things. I wonder what he had to do for that janitor to tell me a simple riddle. Maybe just a hairnet would do. The letters are G-I-M-N-A-S-I. What? Gimnasi? That makes no sense.
The three of us were running to class. Luckily we had that class together. We only a few classrooms away from ours and we had a few seconds to get in. Of course Brandon was the first one to get to the door first, then me, then Loren.
Once we got in the bell rang. The three of us were breathing heavily and the other students in the class just stared at us blankly. Mr. Nagel was sitting at his desk, his glasses slid to the end of his nose. "Is there zombies out there or something?" He questioned us.
The class laughed. "No." The three of us smiled.
"Good. Then please have a seat." He fixed his glasses. They looked like they were going fall off. We all sat down at our desks and Mr. Nagel began his lesson of the day.
My hair was a mess so I fixed it by putting it into a side braid. The next time this happens again I need to have bobby pins. Why out of all things girls always forget to put at least a few bobby pins in their purse. Well at least that's what I forget to do. I got out all the things I needed and began to take notes.
The class was half way done and I was lost in Mr. Nagel's lesson. Beside that I heard someone whisper my name. It was Brandon.
"What do you want?" I whispered to him. He turned around in his desk and he pointed at me.
"What about me?"
He rolled his eyes at me. He then pointed at his desk.
My light bulb went on. "Ohhh." I laughed at myself. Brandon just laughed and shakes his head. I looked under my desk and there was two papers tapped to it. How did he know which desk was mines? They were both folded.
One of them had the number one on them and the other had number two on it. Of course my stupid mind wanted to open the second one but I opened the first one.
It said "I am letter 15 and you're going to say this expression when you find out. *Wink face"
I read it once more and still didn't get it. "Brandon." I yelled louder than I thought.
I completely forgot I was in a class room full of other people so certainly I got everyone's attention especially Mr. Nagel's.
"Now, Nikki, what were you going to tell Brandon? I'm sure that you called his name loud enough for everyone to hear, you'd be more the glad to tell the rest of the class what you were going to tell him." He said as he slowly took his glasses off his nose.
My back started to heat up and so did my cheeks. I knew that I was blushing. I looked over at Brandon and he looked shocked himself. Thank god that the question that I was going to ask him wasn't personal at all.
I looked back at Mr. Nagel who was slowly walking towards my desk. "I'd be glad to." I say.
I looked down at the paper and recited the riddle. "I was going to ask Brandon to help me figure out this riddle I found." I cleared my throat. "I am letter 15 and you're going to say this expression when you find out."
"I'll tell you this. If anyone can figure this out, they get 10 extra credit points." He said. My eyes came wide and my jaw dropped. I thought he was going to do something else. Well this is Mr. Nagel. "You have until the end of class."
I looked at Loren and she gave two thumbs up and It made me smile. It was 5 minutes until the bell would ring. Half of the class were still figuring it out and the other half gave up. I was just patiently waiting for someone to answer. Wow not even the smartest kid in this class can figure it out.
We had 3 minutes left and everyone forfeited. Mr. Nagel stood up and he laughed. Walking to the front of the classroom. "This is a simple riddle guys." The smart kid in the class looked like he was about to cry so he shouted "Just tell us the answer already!"
Everyone laughed. "The answer is." He took the chalk and wrote on the board "O." "The answer is O." He said. Everyone leaned back in their seats and said "Ohhh." Then we all laughed.
The bell rang.
"Geez Garrette. Way to make this whole class feel stupid." Loren said. She put together her books and put them in her bag. Brandon had everything in his hand and walked towards Loren.
"What is the whole word? Or is that not the last clue." Brandon took the paper off of the desk.
"Wait. There's another paper." I opened it up and it said "You have one more. I'll see you there."
I sat back down. Wrote on the paper Gimnasio. "What the hell does that mean?" Brandon questioned. We all took out our phones and looked it up. The class room was completely empty. I guess everyone wanted to go home.
Loren screamed letting us know what she found. "It's Spanish for Gymnasium!" That was another oh-I-should've-known-that moment. We grabbed our bags and took off out of the classroom to the gym.
I was so happy that we found it out. I'm dying to see what he planned all of this for. But I just remembered that on the second paper it said "You have one more."
We got to the gym and some guys were playing basketball. My heart felt like it was beating 90 miles an hour. The palms of my hands are sweating. We walked to the left center part of the basketball court.
One of the sweaty 6 foot 4 guys stopped and yelled "Which girl is Nikki?"
I raised my hand and smiled from ear to ear. "Me!" I yelled. He surprisingly through a basketball at me really fast. Loren ducked and covered her head and screamed.
I caught the ball and heard the crunch that sounded like a piece of paper getting crumbled by my fingers. I rotated the basketball and it said "Now come find me in your apartment. I'll see you later. Love you."
My stomach was over filling with butterflies and was grinning ear to ear. Loren was still in her shell of graditude. She told me when she was little her dad would bring her to college basketball and baseball games. She wasn't the luckiest person in the crowds because she would get hit with the ball no matter where she sat.
Brandon picked her up and started walking towards the door. I think it's cute that they have each other. Ever since she met him, she would go into wonderland and not come back. "Common guys lets go back to my apartment." I say.
Brandon was walking in front of me and Loren was still in his arms. "He knew this whole time that you guys lived near each other!" She yelled. "Ow babe. Don't yell in my ear."
"Sorry." She kissed his cheek.
"I'm surprised that he knows too. Sneaky Garrette. Your car?" Signaling her that she can give us a ride.
"Of course. Why wouldn't I not want to come and see what "your soon to be boyfriend" came up with."
《《《《《《《《《《《《《《《《《《
When we got to my apartment I immediately got out my keys and got out of the car. "Are you guys coming?" I knocked on the window. But they were already eating each other's faces again. "I guess not."
Running into the building and up the 2 flights of stairs. I was juggling my keys and then finally got my door open. Dropping everything on the floor heartless. He wasn't in the kitchen nor living room so I made my way to my bedroom. Once I walked in, there was bear on my bed and it was holding a heart saying "I love you." I picked it up and hugged it with all my might.
Garrette slowly appeared by the door of my room.
"I wish you'd hug me that tight." He tucked his hands in his pockets.
Turning around slowly with the life size bear still in my arms. "You knew all this time didn't you?" I raised an eyebrow.
"I'm pretty sure I knew that you did since my first game. Loren was freaking out inside of her car and I heard it all the way from mines. She has a loud mouth. I had everything planned out eventually when I asked the attendant down stairs which room you lived in. But now you're here. Smart girl." He came close to me took the bear out of my arms and poked my nose with his index finger.
"I had Loren and Brandon by side. They were helping me too. And also my whole English class." He laughed. "But we got the answer from Mr. Nagel so I'm not all that smart to figure out your little clues and riddles." I poked his nose and he flinched.
"It was all great though. I'm here now. Where is my prize?" Taking off my vans and dropping my phone my bed.
He grabbed my waist and brought me closer to him. He closed up the space between us and he lifted my chin. I've never saw this side of him. I looked into his sea green eyes, then down to his cheek bones, then down to his strong jawline. He tucked my hair behind my ear and his lips opened and he began to talk.
"I did all of this for you just to ask this question. Will you, Nikki Anderson, go to homecoming with me?" He spoke.
The words that came out of his mouth surprised me, yet calmed me down. I smiled at him. "Yes. I'll go with you."
I had the urge to kiss his perfect lips that were not too far from mines but I refused. "I could kiss you right now. But I'm super hungry." I said. Breaking out of the lovey tension we were building. I started to run to the kitchen and he followed.
"I'll make you something then. What do you want to eat my queen?" He asked.
"I can make you chicken alfredo if you want that." He said while looking through my cabinets. I nodded my head in agreement.
I turned on the TV then switched it to Netflix. "Youre not that bad guy Garrette. Your very...very handsome." I muttered under my breath.
"Oh so you think I'm handsome." He said. I heard the gas stove click and then heard two flames go on.
"No!" I paused. Letting that sink in my mind for what I just said. "yes." I mutter.
"Hey I heard that. Just admit it."
"Whatever. What movie do you want to watch?"
"The Titanic." He answered.
"Woah a boy like you wanting to watch a movie like that?" I went to the kitchen.
"Hell yeah I do. She was all, never let go! And he was all, I love you rose." He's a wonderful actor, using his wooden spoon while he's at it.
"Alright. I'm up for it. But I'll let you know now that I don't like scary movies." I said.
He put down the wooden spoon and turned to look at me. "Oh like the grudge and scream." He started to slowly walk towards me. I took a step back every time he took one.
"Because if you don't like those movies then all I have to do is..." I put my hand on his chest. "No Garrette." I smile.
He finished his sentence. "Scare you enough to watch them with me." I screamed and started to run away from him.
He put his arms around my stomach and picked me up. The both of us were laughing. "Garrette! Please put me down." Holding the life out of his arms.
"As you wish." He laid me down softly on my couch and he was on top of me. Our laughter slowly turned into nothing but silence and smiles. I was looking into his eyes as he slowly came closer to my face.
I closed my eyes as my lips met his. His lips are so soft and smooth. I could taste and smell the pepper mint candy that he had before.
Then we stopped. "I should go check on the food. I think it's done." He got up slowly off of my body. Our shirts still stuck together for a few moments. Then we was completely off of me.
Did I do something wrong?
The smell of the alfredo sauce finally hit my nose and it smelled good. See, it's simple to cook and it's a great dish. One of my favorites actually.
He came back with two plates and I went to go get a small blanket. When I came back he had already had started the movie. Through out the beginning of the movie I don't think either of us could hear anything from the movie because we were sucking the noodles so loud. So I put on the sub titles.
We didn't talk until the middle of the movie when we were both finished with dinner. "That was a great dinner Garrette." I took our plates back into the kitchen.
"I'll make anything for you Nikki." He pointed at me.
"Alright. Next time I'll cook something for you." I pointed back at him. I sat on the couch and snuggled right next to him. He put his arms around me and pulled me closer. Kissing my forehead.
Rose was in the water and so was jack. He was telling her that she will go on and have babies and everything. I couldn't help but cry at this moment. I heard Garrette sniff. I looked at his face.
"Garrette, are you crying?" I let out a small laugh.
"No." He sniffed once more and wiped his eyes quickly.
He's such a softy, I swear.
When the movie was over my body felt so heavy when I stood up. I just gave up and sat back down on the couch with Garrette. I was half asleep.
I layed back down next to him. "No you need to sleep in your bed." He said as he pushed the blanket off of himself. He got up off of the couch.
"Common Nikki lets go, Common." He tries to make me get up but I act like a kid and complain.
"Can you just take me there? I don't feel like walking." In a kid tone.
He just laughs. "Fine." He picks me up and brings me to my bedroom. I stare at his face.
"Hey Garrette."
"Yes."
"What's your biggest fear?" He lays me down in my bed.
"It would have to be death." Tucking me in. "What's yours?"
"Being left alone."
He stops and stares at me. "You will never be alone Nikki." He kisses my cheek.
I hate to be alone. I always was as a kid once my mom gave me up to my dad. I was never around him when I was little because he would be working or doing something else. I'd be with my nanny or a babysitter. I was alone in family wise. It hurts to think about it.
"Can you stay with me?" I hold his hand.
"Of course I will." He turned off the lights around my apartment. He came back and asked "Do you mind if I get in my pajamas?"
What does that mean? No shirt and underwear? Go right ahead.
"Yeah." He took off his shirt and all heaven broke loose. Even though I was really tired my eyes could still be open to see him undress. His body was perfectly muscular which showed how much effort he puts on the field/gym. Then he takes off his pants and turns off the light.
He gets under the covers with me and he pulls me close. "Why do you care so much about me? You don't choose other girls. Why me?" I asked.
He laughs. "Because when I first met you, you weren't like any other girl that I've met. You are different from other girls. You're clever, smart, outgoing, and you're beautiful. I don't know why I care about you so much but my heart says to choose you."
